    It really is. Everyone should try it. I’ve done it for hundreds of hours and still think, “THIS IS THE FUTURE,” every time I do it.

    I was too intimidated to try iRacing, but hope to. I drove thousands of miles on the night-time Tokyo interstate/Shutoko map (mod for Assetto Corsa) by itself. Often in the rain with the mod that allowed me to control my Spotify from inside the car.

    Sold my rig when I moved, but hope to rebuild it even better ASAP. It certainly isn’t cheap, but my first rig was very DIY (including two-directional physics output to my seat via SimHub, which added even more to immersion, only cost $75-$100 to add a basic version) and I was able to cobble it all together for under $1,000 by waiting for deals, etc…
